Suppliers are carefully selected and monitored, to ensure compliance with all applicable regulations and quality standards.

We undergo an annual review to ensure there are no Conflict Minerals used in the production of our products.

Governance

The Company has implemented a Global Ethics & Compliance Program that requires annual training. The Program includes the Company’s Code of Ethics & Business Conduct (“Code of Conduct”) Policy and Anti-Corruption Policy, and a series of other policies, procedures and trainings to provide relevant information for internal associates, our global sales network and Board of Directors.

The Code of Conduct policy describes the basis for how employees and partners should act dealing with customers, hospitals, surgeons, partners and fellow associates.

The Compliance Hotline and email enable employees and external partners to report any issues, including violations of the Company’s policies and procedures, violations of U.S. or international laws, and concerns about the Company’s accounting, internal controls or auditing related matters, suspected bribery, corruption, or violations of the Code of Conduct. The hotline and email are administered by an external third party and communicated directly to the Chairman of the Audit Committee of the Board.

The Board of Directors understands the value of diversity and will increase the diversity of the Board over the next 18 months. The Governance and Nominating Committee has engaged a global recruiting firm to assist in adding two diverse Board candidates.

The Company does not directly utilize paid lobbyists nor does it permit political donations to obtain or retain business or to gain an improper business advantage for the Company.

Cybersecurity continues to be a top priority; we have increased internal awareness and training while leveraging third-party providers to assist in safeguarding the Company.

The Company has a separate Executive Chairman of the Board and CEO.
